Suns targeting Miles Bridges?


As for Charlotte wing Miles Bridges, the Phoenix Suns continue to be described by league personnel as the team most motivated to land the Michigan State product. And it should be noted that Bridges hails from the same Spartans program that Phoenix owner Mat Ishbia was a part of under legendary head coach Tom Izzo. Bridges would add a sturdy forward that Phoenix’s roster currently lacks and could allow the Suns to deploy more effective small-ball lineups with Kevin Durant at the five.

Miles Bridges is a free agent this summer … just saying. If they’re going to let PWill walk … the past is a big red flag … real big … Suns are rumored to be in on him for a trade but trying to gauge the fallout. – 7:35 PM
